BACKGROUND
Immediately fatal motorcycle crashes have not been well characterized. This study catalogues injuries sustained in fatal motorcycle crashes and assesses the impact of crash conditions on injury patterns.
METHODS
Autopsy records from the office of the medical examiner of Kent County, MI and publicly available traffic reports were queried for information pertaining to motorcyclists declared dead on-scene between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2016.
RESULTS
A total of 71 autopsies of on-scene motorcycle crash fatalities were identified. The two most prevalent injuries were traumatic brain injury (TBI) (85%) and rib fractures (79%). The majority of fatalities occurred in daylight hours (54.3%) and in a 55 mph speed limit zone (63.8%).
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides a catalogue of the injuries sustained in immediately fatal motorcycle crashes and the associated conditions. Advocacy efforts that highlight the risks associated with motorcycle riding and that promote safe riding practices are warranted.
背景
即刻致命的摩托车事故尚未得到充分描述。本研究对致命性摩托车事故中受伤情况进行了分类，并评估了事故条件对损伤模式的影响。
方法
密歇根州肯特县法医办公室的尸检记录和公开的交通报告中查询了 2007 年 1 月 1 日至 2016 年 12 月 31 日期间现场宣告死亡的摩托车手的相关信息。
结果
共确定了 71 例现场摩托车事故死亡的尸检。最常见的两种损伤是创伤性脑损伤（TBI）（85%）和肋骨骨折（79%）。大多数致命事故发生在白天（54.3%）和限速 55 英里/小时的区域（63.8%）。
结论
本研究提供了即刻致命性摩托车事故中受伤情况及相关条件的目录。有必要开展宣传活动，强调与摩托车骑行相关的风险，并推广安全骑行实践。
